quakes on the east or west coast of the Pacif- ic produce waves which are recorded on the opposite coast about twenty four hours after It is asserted that, as to prediction of earth quakes, nothing certain is yet known, but in many cases there are noticeable changes in springs and wells preceding the event. One useful warning, however, is remarked as ob- viously possible, namely: the report of an actual earthquake on one side of the Pacific could be at once telegraphed to the other side, thus giving twentyfour hours notice of the probable advent of a great sea wave
 Professor Sadtler, of the University of Pennsylvania, gives an interesting and com prehensive account in the Iron Age of the de- velopment and method of the manufacture of celluloid. Alexander Parkes, an English man, invented this remarkable substance in 1855, but after twelve years quit making it because of difficulties in manipulation, al though he made fine display at the Paris Exposition of 1867. Daniel Spill, also of England, began experiments two years after Parkes, but patent of his for dissolying the nitrated wood-fbre, or "pyoxyline,' in alcohol and camphor was decided by Judge Blatchford in a suit brought against the Gel luloid Manufacturing company to be value less. No further progress was made until the Hyatt Brothers of Albany, N. Y., dis covered that gum eamphor when finely divi- ded, mixed with the nitrated fibre and then heated, is a perfect solvent, giving a homo geneous and plastic mass. American patents of 1870 and 1874 are substantially identical with those now in use in England. In France there is only one factory, and there is none elsewhere on the Continent, one in Hanover having been given up on account of the ex- plosive nature of the stuff: In this country pure cellulose is commonly obtained from papermakers, in the form of tissus paper, in wide rolls; this, after being nitrated by a bath of mixed nitric and sulphuric acids, is thoroughly washed and partially dried. Camphor is then added, and the whole is ground together and thoroughly mixed. At this stage coloring matter may be put in. A little alcohol increases the plasticity of the mass, which is then treated for some time to powerful hydraulic pressure. Then comes breaking up the cakes and feeding the frag- ments between heated rolls, by which the amalgamation of the whole is to be rolled in- to sheets, drawn into tubes, or moulded into any desired shane

 This is all interesting and we'll meant. But a State board of arbitration has proved fail ure. It may be that local boards and mayors and selectmen wouldn't do much more to solve the labor problem.

NEW PLANS FOR ARBITRATION. Massachusetts has had State board of ar bitration to deal with labor matters during the past year, but it has apparently not ac- complished as much as was expected of it, for bill amending the law under which the board has worked is now pending in the leg islature.
 One of the most important and interesting of the amendments proposed is that allowing employers and employed to form temporary local boards of arbitration. The bill states that the parties to any controversy or differ ence may submit the matters in dispute in writing to local board of arbitration and conciliation. Such board may either be mu- tually agreed upon or the employer may designate one of the arbitrators, the employees or their duly authorized agent another, and the two arbitrators so designated may choose third, who shall be chairman of the board Boards thus formed shall have power to sum- mon witnesses and examine them under oath concerning grievances complained of, requiring the production of books containing the record of wages paid They may issue summonses and administer oaths, and their decision shall
 
 upon by the parties to the controversy when submitting it to adjudication. Each of these arbitrators shall be entitled to receive from the treasury of the city or town in which the controversy or difference that is the subject of arbitration exists-if such payment is ap- proved in writing by the mayor of such city or the board of selectmen of such town-the sum of s for each day of actual service, not exceeding ten days for any one arbitration.
 Another section of the bill provides that whenever it is made to appear to the mayor of city or the board of selectmen of a town that controversy or difference exists in such city or town, and is likely to result in Q strike or lockout if not settledI such mayor or board of selectmen may, either personally or by duly appointed agent or agents, en- deavor to mediate between the parties to such controversy, or to persuade them to submit the matters in dispute to local board

The New Rulings Issued by COMMISSIONS
sparks In Reference To the Desert Land
Laws. Contain the Following New Fea-
lures.
The first section OF the act OF March
8. 1879, entitled "An act to provide for
the sale Of desert lands In certain
states aud territories" provides for the
reclamation Of such lands by conduct
ing water upon the same" The sec.
ond section provides that all lands
exclusive OF timber lands and mineral
lands which will not, without ,artif-
cial irrigation, produce some agricul-
tursl crops, shall be deemed desert
lands within the meaning ofthis act, I"
and the third section provides that
"the determination Of what may be
considered desert land shall be subject
to the decision and regulation Of the
commissioner Of the general land Off.
ce.r
IL il therefore prescribed a. follows:

AMONG otner work undertaken by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture for the purpose Of promoting
the live stock interests of the country
j. that Of collecting full and accurate
statistics Of the breeding of stock of
pure blood. In view of this thousands
Of circulars have been sent out, the
idea being to thus reach every owner
of registered cattle in the land. These
circulars contain questions intended
TO draw out information showing the
number Of lur' bred cattle III each
county; the actual selling value of such
cattle at public and private sale IN the
several localities; the increase and im-
provement in weight aud quality OF

from the use Of pure bred bull, aud TO

them to improve their herds by intro

This will immediately benefit the
breeders of such bulls by increasing
the demand for their stock. The more

ply Of beef. milk, outer and cheese Of
better quality than the average now

Lands which produce native grasses

Lands which produce native grasses

grazing animals, TO make an ordinary
crop of hay In usual seasons are not
desert lands.
Lands which will produce an agri-
cultural crop Of any kind, in amount

Lands containing sufficient moisture
to produce a natural growth Of trees,
are not to be classad as desert lands.
Desert land enteries are not assign.
able, and the transfer OF such enteries
whether by deed, contract, or agree
ment, vitiates the entry. An entry

CHICAGO, June 23-The uncertainty which
has sbrouded the wheat market acted dead
weight. July wheat opened &c higher. at 70sc,
sold down to 69ic and closed at 70s @7osc:
June opened 69sc, sold down to 6Ssc, and
closed at 694 a 69sc Several times during the
morning session efforts were made to put July
wheat above Zoe. but each time the attempt was
q failure, for at zoe enough wheat came out from
some mysterious source TO weaken the market
again. There was also considerable cash wheat
offered, supposed to be the holdings of some of
shipping demand. and local millsrs also
bought fair quantities. The feeling was
rather steady, fluctuations being confined
within SC range, and quite firm.
except when cash wheat pressed on the
market. During tho latter part of the session
there a noticeable disposition TO trade, and
the speculative market showed more life than for
several days past. The receipts of wheat to day
were Only forty-seven The speculative
market for corn ruled quiet during the greater
part of the day. with trading chiefyin changing
July to the more deferred options. There were
no imp ortant outside features. though it was re-
ported that in some sections of the corn belt the
outlook was less favorable for the growing crop.
Receipts We're light July opened unchanged at
364c sold down to 36sc and closed at 36sc.
There marked decrease in the general
trading in oats. Very little business was done in
speculative way. Prices, however, ruled steady.
July started at 25sc. sold down to 254c, and
closed at 25ac. Speculative trading in provisions
moderately active. but the feeling was some
what unsettled, and prices fuctuated consider
ably though within a narrow range. The weak
ness in the hog market caused easy feeling at
the opening. and few sales were made at
slightly reduced prices. An improved demand.
however. tended to more strength later, and
prices gradually rallied to outside figures July
lard opened unchanged at 6 30c. and sold up to
6. 40c. the closing figure. July short ribs started
lower, at 7275c. and sold up to 7.321c. the clos
figure. The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:
